Good morning everybody I am on my way to Aspen, Colorado. I
go to Aspen every year I'm a huge huge skier. I was a ski instructor for kids
in Austria for three winters and now
I just go ski for fun. I really love Aspen mostly because I love the
mountain. It's wide it's open, there's lots of terrain. I love the restaurants.
I love the vibe and I am headed to the airport with all of my stuff. When I say
all of my, stuff I take my skis, I take my boots, I pack a suitcase and I take
my carry-ons. It is absolutely worth having my own equipment there.
Leslie is taking us to the airport. She's also a skier, and
Denise is also coming for a second year of skiing together. I can't wait to get
out there. We're also going to meet Becky in Denver, so this is going to be a
fun girls trip. We're taking Blue Sky Limo from Denver to Aspen, and I'm going
to try to get some of my real estate work done on both the flight to Denver and
the drive out to Aspen.
Our first day on the mountain it's been snowing all night
long I can't wait to get out there. I'm headed to the ski shop pick up my skis
where I had them tuned last night and then I'm headed up the mountain.
The first run of the season and it's a complete whiteout not
sure I'm looking forward to this LOL. We'll see at the bottom. It really is
absolutely spectacular out in Aspen. I can totally say day 1 is a huge success!
After a full day on the slopes it's time to head back to the
hotel for cocktails and protein bars.
On day we decided to do Mogul runs - ohhh boy. Some of those
moguls were the size of small children! Aspen has some absolutely amazing
challenges for even the most experienced skiers. My friends and I are
definitely feeling the soreness in some of those muscles you never use unless
you are out skiing. It's also always a bit unsettling when you think you're
pretty good at this whole skiing thing, and then a group of teenagers come
whizzing past you and make it all look so easy.
Day 2 Evening: Our hotel room has a really nice kitchen, so
it's pasta and wine for the girls tonight! Penne with Marinara sauce and a nice
bottle of Sangiovese to wash it down - YUM!
Skiing Day 3:
The skiing life is rinse and repeat. Get up, have a protein
shake to feed the sore muscles. Then a delicious breakfast of eggs bacon and
tortillas, and we're ready to get on to the mountain again. Lots of skiing,
more moguls, ski, come down, take a shower, a little après action. Dinner to go
from our favorite pizza place. Come home, sleep for eight hours and repeat the
next day. Life is tough :)
Well, that's about it for this girl’s trip. It was tons of
fun catching up with my friends and skiing Aspen. We took Blue Sky Limo back to
Denver. I really think this is the best airport shuttle service from Aspen to
DIA. They're always on time and have the best drivers. I highly recommend them
to anyone traveling to Aspen this Winter.
So until the next time! Safe travels
